The battle for control over Dell is now over, and resulted in the PC giant's privatization. Founder Michael Dell speaks with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo about the his fight against Carl Icahn and explains why Dell belongs with the best companies in the world.

In an exclusive interview, CNBC's Maria Bartiromo talks with Michael Dell, Dell chairman & CEO, about his long, drawn out buyout battle to take his company private and how he plans to turnaround the PC maker. (Note: During this interview, Mr. Dell misspoke when he said the company had generated $22 billion in cash flow in the last 5 quarters. He meant to say years, according to the company.)

Carr Lanphier, Analyst at Morningstar says Michael Dell's offer to take the company private is likely to win shareholder nod and while there will be challenges to come as the company tries to turn its fortunes around, the deal might just be the best option for the PC giant going forward.
